Do you know if John Feeney was a cook/chef? Also did he travel back and forth to Scotland for work?

Hi christopher ,
Sorry we know very little about Johm feeney , We only know there were three children . I Did meet Sarah her married name was Maclaughlin and yes she and my grandfather moved and lived in Scotland . My Grandfather william Feeney was buried in Houston i think thats in Renfrewshire. Sarah Lived in that area too. Asi said i met her a few times when i was little but later she would not speak about her Mother or Father.
Thanks

Hi Shazzz and Tootsiepie
Shazzzz I may have been in touch with you before on Genforum but if not perhaps you can help. My uncle Edward Roddy travelled from Greenock in 1926. He stated he was going to his cousin James Feeney in Detroit. Travelling with him was William James Feeney going to the same address.
When leaving Scotland from the tail of the bank Greenock they gave their address as Kilmacolm which is in Renfrewshire
I have been told that Edward Roddy was a good friend of the Feeney's but I can find no link that could make them cousins. The Feeney's lived in Quigley's Point (Cabry) and Edward lived not so far from them in Tromaty. Edward was born 1896 and William was born about the same time.
Do you think this could be part of the family group you are researching?

Cabry is in moville upper, William Bulter list in Griffiths valuation 1857
Edward Feeny listed in Moville lower Griffiths

Hi everyone
Thank you for the information posted ;). I found about an hour after I posted the message for Shazzz some information that may point me to the family I am seeking. Also Shazzz I think we have been in touch perhaps not directly but through Robin Coles.
The information I found was. William Feeney and Mary Bradley of Carrowkeel had a son John born 8/12/1870 died 27/03/1937(no idea where). John married Susan Quigley c1894 and the address given is Ballyargus, Donegal which is I belive is in Upper Moville. With little proof at the moment I think that John and Susan, MAY have been the parents of the William James I am trying to find. Do you have any information re John and Susan that could throw some light on this.
Many thanks.

Bald Eagle,
The following is not what you are looking for but it may be of interest.
On 5 May 1869 William Feeney married Mary Bradley in Iskaheen, Kilderry Roman Catholic Church, in Co. Donegal but in the Londonderry Registration District. I believe that the parish is near the village of Muff on the Inishown Peninsula.
Regards

John Feeney and Susan Quigley are in Quay Street Moville in 1911
-
Hi Kingswell
Thanks for that. The Catholic Church should be St Patrick's RC Church Iskaheen which is in the civil parish of Muff. Kilderry was where the marriage was entered on the civil register.
No big deal really these are just small point that may come in useful to someone 8)
Thanks again. ;)

Thanks Derrylass.
I will look further into that :)

Hi Bald Eagle,

Hi All, new to this. I have found my grandmothers Birth certificate as part of my application for an Irish Passport (Brexit).
My Great Grandmother is Rose Feeney born 28 Nov 1910 Her parents were John Feeny (fisherman) and Susan Feeny, formerly Quigley. They were living in Moville. Hope this helps someone -
Rose married Michael Kavanagh born 2 June 1905 (Dublin) and they emigrated to Greenock Scotland in the 1920's (ish). Michael (Mick) was a Merchant Navy Engineer.
If anyone can provide me any information on my family I would really appreciate it.
Thanks

Hi Jon, I am the great grandson of Michael and Rose Kavanagh. Maybe I can help. If it’s an Irish passport you’re trying to get I think you’re one generation out (as am I). Mick died before I was born but I knew my great grandmother.

Welcome to RootsChat :)
Unfortunately, Tully 1957 (Jon) hasn't been online here since May 2017 and only posted once.
If he hasn't changed his email address and if he still receives notifications from RootsChat, he'll receive a message that there has been a new reply to his enquiry and hopefully will reply.
Good luck! :) :)
